For example, if u want to compare 2 sportive cars, you have to make the effort to transport them to the same circuit and to put them under the same professional driver. Then do the benchmark . You have to make a previous effort to put them under the same conditions.

In engineering if u want to compare one implementations against other/others and write and article u have to create the same conditions, and do the testing.

Phoronix is a referent to linux, lot of journalists take you as a referent, they can write that X distro is better than Y distro without mentioning that the benchmark has been realised under different filesystem, this way, a lot of disinformation is created.

All kernels > 2.6.28 support ext4 FS, it is easy to setup a ext4 root partition.

Maintaining the same track and driver would be like maintaining the same set of benchmarks and settings. However, changing out the file-system would be like changing out the tires on the vehicle. The default file-system is part of the decision that distribution vendors make as part of their process, just as automobile makers recommend a specific set of tires. As a reader pointed out, a far majority of Linux users will go with the default file-system choice.
